Customer Reviews Columbia Emerald Lake II Interchange Jacket

Fits well, looks pretty sleek for a water proof jacket. My only complaint is that I wish the collar was fleece lined, because the nylon picks up my mineral sunscreen and I'm constantly having to fuss with it to keep it from staining.

I ordered this jacket in charcoal heather. The color is lighter than in the picture. Overall, I am satisfied with the jacket! Love how I can wear it in different ways.

I wore the combined jacket skiing and it kept me very warm and dry. I wear the inner jacket day to day and I'm loving the multi functionality!

I bought a 2XL and the size is generous and fits me well compared with some other makers. The shell is extremely sturdy and should last many years. Also the shell is very waterproof. The liner jacket is warm alone in 20-30 degree F weather. The combined coat is comfortable down to about 20 degrees F if only lightly active, and I've used it in below-zero weather with reasonable comfort when being somewhat active, even in wind. There are two things that bother me mildly. One is the hood which is sized for wearing a helmet and has no adjustment to accommodate regular use; it does not roll up when not in use but can be removed using snaps - if it is attached unused in snow or rain it can collect water, same with the pockets. The other annoyance is that I'd prefer a zipper that can be opened at the bottom as the coat is generously long. I would buy this coat again and recommend it to others (and already have).

Purchased this coat for 1 of my teen daughters and she loves it. The coat fits well, although if you naturally have hips and a butt it fits a little snug. Other than that the coat my daughter says is perfect and she loves the color. I bought it for the cold weather here in New York State and she says it keeps her warm and she loves all the additional pockets.

This jacket is absolutely beautiful! I'd says it's more of a forest green than the teal in the picture. I ordered a medium and it fits pretty well. I could have done with a small in the sleeves (I'm 5'1"), but it feels to well everywhere else. I plan on using it in a trip to Iceland this year, but I'm loving it right now during the winter! Highly recommend!

I found this jacket really useful and completely true to its description.

All the features with this jacket are excellent. The quality is excellent, stitching, zippers etc... the color is a little more green than teal than the picture looks. Also it's a bit tight in the hips when I zip it up. I should have ordered a large but I wear a small so I thought a medium would have been ok. Fits everywhere else perfectly though. I'm 5'2" and 125lbs. But I'm also hoping to loose a bit of weight so maybe next winter it will fit better. It fits snug but just fine right now. Love how warm it is.

I wanted to like it, It was nice and warm. I usually size up as I prefer a coat with room for layers And I have wide shoulders and long arms so I got the xl. (I'm generally a L in clothes). It was a confusing jacket. With the shell, the arms were extremely long (I never have this problem!) and it was like wearing a sack. It was way too big. I tried on the insulated liner by itself and that fit perfectly. I chose not too exchange as I was worried If I sized down the insulation coat would then be too small.

This item is nice but bulkier than I wanted. I returned it.

It fit well but looked large on. The zippers were virtually impossible to use.

This is a quality jacket... Warm, dry, etc. My problem is with the fit. It's so unflattering. I want to stay warm and dry on the slopes, but for the price I would hope it's a bit more flattering than a puffy potato sack. It's really baggy in the shoulders, the sleeves were too long, and really shapeless around the waist. I had it on for less than a minute and I knew I wasn't going to keep it. Shame.. I really liked the color and warmth. I ended up getting a Burton jacket with all the features I like in this, but a much more flattering fit.

I'm 5'4" and 135 pounds. I typically wear a medium but it was too tight on my hips. When I tried the large, it was way too big on top. This product does not fit my body type. I highly recommend Obermeyer. Its a little more expensive but well worth it. It, also, has some stretch in the material which Columbia does not.
